The dissertation intends to analyze TV programs from the American cable TV channel TV Guide. Three programs were choses, Hollywood 411, TV Watercooler and Making News Savannah Style. They are different among themselves but also have a lot in common: the metalinguistic nature. The thoughts of McLuhan who tried to define the nature of TV itself, the path communications studies followed him, semiotics in all of its scope and recent theories on media regarding its digital aspect are some of the most important theoretical tools used in this research. The analysis of the corpus made possible to show a few points relevant for all three programs: all of them show metalinguistic nature and scrutinize the TV on and in itself; all of them deconstruct the medium when dissecting its engine and way of working, production means, operations, broadcasting and reception. In addition, with no exceptions, they all feed on the media industry with no specific economical or corporative ties, making means for a new chart in content distribution that has been changing the face of the entertainment industry as a whole. They also change the imagination of TV through and for it. With the specific choosing of these three programs first, a descriptive research was applied, analyzing in detail all three of them in all its content and context. Then, a bibliographic research took place in order to identify how the metalanguage is built in all of the programs as well as other among the channel grid. Through those findings it was possible to point out some trends when it comes to programming in this rapidly-changing scenery TV is now located. The results encompass a body of theories on metalanguage and TV, the classification of such and possible developments for future studies on the topic be it for the academia or for educational purposes
